Father and son, Leonid (piano) and Nick (saxophone) Vintskevich have had a long-standing creative relationship with Steve Kershaw (bass). Just after the turn of the millennium Steve's critically acclaimed Stekpanna trio found themselves jamming with the Vintskeviches at a Jazz Festival in Finland, and the deep mutual admiration of that night grew into an ensemble that is now very comfortable improvising in front of a packed concert hall or in an intimate jazz club, savouring Russia's finest vodka after the show. The trio have a released a number of albums together, their last "Under A Different Sky" was one of Jazzviews' Albums of the Year in 2016. Critics variously described the music as 'astounding... exhilarating... wonderful... impressive... attractive... striking [and] totally amazing'. They reunited last year to record their latest offering "I'll Show You A Beautiful Country". It is an album of subtlety and depth. Finely crafted and beautifully performed, it will not disappoint diehard jazz aficionados
